| description | In the paper, based on the analysis of scientific information regarding the parameters and characteris-tics of radiation fields for three dental X-ray procedures (intraoral radiographs, panoramic radiographs on orthopantomographs and computed tomography), the required thickness of stationary shields for rooms with different X-ray equipment is calculated. It has been shown that in most cases, in rooms where intraoral and panoramic radiographs are taken, conventional 20 mm thick plasterboard interior room partitions provide the necessary protection to comply with the dose limit for the population in the adjacent room. For the rooms where dental examinations are carried out using computed tomographs additional lead shield up to 1.5 mm thick is required depending on the conditions and the category of protected persons in the adjacent room. |
